Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
本片过于追求影像风格化而角色刻画和叙事一团糟，前一个半小时看得我昏昏入睡，直到90分钟后生母揭示真相，剧情才算渐入佳境，我才打起精神来。在前一个半小时的剧情中，就是照搬莎士比亚“哈姆雷特”的故事，如果没有90分钟后的反转来挽救影片，本片的豆瓣评分连6.6都到不了，看完全片才明白实质要讲述的是一个家族相残的复仇故事。
ATJ大妹子贡献了本片最亮眼的视效。剩下的，无论情节抑或是画面，别说看过其它书籍电影，但凡玩过AC Valhalla也不至于吹
本片如同一部徘徊在戏剧舞台与影像诗之间的3A游戏CG，这一点尤其是体现在接受巫师的预言击败亡灵夺得黑死剑的部分
片名和我想象的不一样。是特别类型，即便在今天，也应该存在。妮可基德曼真是工作狂。
北欧版的Hamlet，影像化得很有史诗感。不过莎剧的魅力在于台词啊，没了那份华丽和韵律，就只是平庸。
巧妙蕴含北欧文化的美国大片，活泼敦厚的诺恩斯，喜庆祥和的瓦基里，扑面而来的制片厂味，香喷喷的烤火山，北欧人（笑）（掌声）。复仇，啊，奥丁神是喜欢渡鸦的，（笑）（掌声）美国人很爱意淫他国IP，北欧人和美国佬的精彩交织。
终于又有一部年度私人最佳了！！！这种沉浸其中的观影感太久远了！！！
用电影方式来呈现的一篇北欧萨迦。原来莎剧《哈姆雷特》对原著中的维京民族风做了巨大的删减。
7分吧，画面很美，演员演技也不错，但我不了解北欧神话也没看过莎士比亚
前有杜蒙、卡拉克斯，后有艾格斯，最近几年我是观影水逆了吗，好几个我私人神坛上的大神都吧唧砸地上了，遥想《灯塔》、《女巫》皆是我的年度最佳，如今《北欧人》却连四星也给不了了，唏嘘感慨啊，艾格斯有很努力的在创造一个野蛮、原始、血腥、混沌的世界，也不能说不成功吧，反正和《上帝难为》一比只剩下不真诚了，拍烂了的《哈姆雷特》不是原罪，复仇题材嫁接北欧背景也足够带感，电影失败的原因恐怕是完全依赖突出的个人风格声名鹊起的艺术片导演为历史名著之光芒和商业大片之宏大而妥协，没有单个方向的极致，取而代之是全方位的平庸寡淡，我看艾格斯之后的两个项目是经典翻拍和历史史诗，想想我就冒冷汗。。。
非常罗伯特风格、非常莎士比亚。服装设定细节很棒了，包括Valkryra的“牙套”，很多人可能觉得可笑，但实际上冰岛和Gotland考古发现就是这样的。导演考古和神话结合非常棒了。
本来没抱什么期待，但看下来还是特别不错。微博上的段子，梁朝伟和陈法拉怎么生出了尚气的颜值，但看完整个电影，觉得刘思慕还是很帅，憨憨的
电影野蛮中带着知性美，画面视觉带感。
不要被恶意诋毁的营销号带偏了，这是一部很好看的电影，非常尊重中国文化，太极、九尾狐、龙和麒麟都超美！陈法拉柔中有刚，奥卡菲娜可爱灵动，刘思慕又帅又能打。
艾格斯继续稳定发挥，影像风格比前两部作品更成熟。哈姆雷特的叙事底板，基本盘首先能保证，这次的亮点是通灵后的精神世界和北欧众神的设定巧妙融合起来，对于推进剧情和视觉构建，都产生了十分显著的效果。安雅还是美啊！
制作精良 编剧太弱 用了哈姆雷特的故事 可是把哈姆雷特人性的部分抽走了 剩下一个空壳 就显得特别单薄
没啥劲，形式大于内容，憋足了劲的史诗风格，可惜内容单薄又撑不起，男主角色像个神棍：我背后有人，今天我不能死
3.5制作精良，就是剧情以现在眼光看来像非常冗长的游戏，到了等级才能解锁的武器，强行的剧情杀和末日火山般史诗单挑boss战。可能是服务仪式感的一种妥协吧。哈姆雷特的改造倒是非常不错。
比起女巫，虽然更加主流，但古典而暴烈的底色依然战胜了更高投资带来的期许压力。与此同时更是期望有更多像新蝙、沙丘抑或本片这样极力雕琢视听的商业精品，不媚俗，更不陡立门槛：毕竟电影本身就是视听的艺术，同时也是依附于商业的载体—-studios和artists的斗争或许是永恒的，但无穷的创造力不就是在不断妥协中诞生的吗。
本来留了两个小时来看，结果老是出现意外，断断续续分了三次看完。没有期待那么好，但好像也没有特别差，毕竟Alex和Anya还是好看的。
